Elsewhere in the Midwest, pow- erful Notre Pame puts its 38 game streak on the line against North Carolina in its season inaugural' at South Bend. * * * OHIO STATE, Western Confer- ence co-champion, has one of the toughest assignments as it opens against Southern Methodist who already boast a 33-13 win ovr Georgia Tech.. Other games involving Big Ten members finds Indiana journeying to Nebraska, Minne- sota to the coast to meet Wash- ington, and Purdue south to battle Texas. The remaining teams open at home with Wisconsin host to Mar- quette, Illinois greeting Ohio Uni- vrseity, and Northwestern holding forth against Iowa State in all easy encounters. The league campaign opens a week from tomorrow with two games, Wisconsin at Illinois and Iowa at Indiana. The following Saturday, Ohio State enters the race at Indiana, and Minnesota and Northwestern clash at Evan- ston. * * * MICHIGAN AND Purdue are last to plunge into their Con- v ference schedule faciny Wisconsin and Iowa respectively on October 21. . Michigan State does not en- ter the Big Ten football champ- ionship until 1953. In 1949, Notre Dame Coach Leahy took stock of his team, brushed a tear from *s eyes, and predicted the worst. Then the Irish went out and beat North Carolina, 42-6, and proceeded to run up their victory skein 'to 38 at the end of the campaign. * * * THE UNIVERSITY of Oklaho- ma, which boasts a streak of 21 in a row and Army, with 20, both get into action against relatively weak foes and should have no trouble stretching their streaks one more each. Oklahoma plays host to Bos- ton College at: Norman, while Army tangles with one of its 'local neighbors, Colgate. BC, off its opening 7-7 tie with Wake Forest is not in the same, league with Oklahoma. Colgate could cause trouble for some fair-to-middlin' teams but against the Cadets, it apparent- ly has jumped into a pond over its head. Rice, which won the Southwest Conference Championship last year, takes on Santa Clara at Houston. In the South, the big one is Alabama at Tulane. This is rated pretty much of a toss-up, for the odds have been fluctuating. At the moment, Alabama is a six- point favorite, and that's how it's likely to be at game time. Maryland, 'which had its high hopes for taking the mythical na- tional honors shattered last week, plays Navy. Unless Maryland was just getting the bad one out of its system last time, Navy could come out on top. Two of the other best games of the day pit Washington State: against UCLA on the West Coast and Dartmouth against Holy ' Cross in the east. Line-Ups OZZIE CLARK ... Veteran Flanker * * * MSC Pos.'

Koceski Don Dufek DETROIT-(OP)-The hard-hit- ting Cleveland Indians blasted the Detroit Tigers' American League pennant hopes yesterday as they smashed out 15 hits in a 12-2 rout that ended the Tigers' chances of catching the New York Yankees in the pennant race. Big Bob Lemon, the American League's leading pitcher, halted the Tigers with six scattered hits to get his 23rd win of the year and help 'the Yankees to their second straight pennant. * * * THE INDIANS backed him up with a devastating onslaught on four Tiger pitchers. They scored in six different innings with Jim Hegan and Dale Mitchell each contributing a home run to the complete rout. Detroit had one big- moment of hope when leadoff man Jerry Priddy homered in the first inn- ing to send the Tigers into a short-lived 1-0 lead. It soon melted, though, as the Indians rocked the Tigers time. and again with booming hits, The defeat ended what at best would have been a terrific uphill struggle for the Tigers. As things stand now, the Tigers will have to fight off a last-minute rush by the Boston Red Sox to hold on to the runner-up spot. THEY TRAIL the Yankees by three full games, but have only a one-game bulge over the third- place Red Sox. Little Teddy Gray, who lost a heart-breaking 2-1 decision to Lemon Sunday, was the loser again today but this time it wasn't even close. Gray held the.

FB N ew York WhipsLitorts NEW YORK--(P)-George Rat- terman qnd Sherman Howard combined tonight to give the or- phaned New York Yanks a 44 to 21 victory over the Detroit Lions in a National Football League ' . ,game. Ratterman set a hatful of club records. In all, he tossed 28 passes and completed 15 for 264 yards. Four heaves resulted in touch- --downs. He made 22 of those passes inthe firstdhalf and registered 238 of the yards. IN CONTRAST, Bobby Layne of the Lions, pressed all the way and once 'down behind his own goal line for a safety, completed ten of 30 that gained 118 yards. None went for a touchdown. Howard, a third string half- back, romped for three markers. One of his tallies came on an 89-yard kickoff return. The game was played in the Polo Grounds instead of Yankee Stadium to keep intact the turf where the American League half of the coming World Series will be played. Despite the switch in parks, some 12,482 customers found their way to the proceed- ings. Ratterman tossed 21 yards to George Taliaferro for the first marker and then found Howard twice for 37 and 31 yards before the. first half ended with the Yanks in front, 21 to 7. The Lions' first marker came. when Bob Smith intercepted a Ratterman toss and romped 35 yards. * * * OFFICIALS: Ref.eree, Rollie Barnum (Wisconsin); Umpire, John Wilson (Ohio State); Field Judge, M.

That was just the start of a long disappointing afternoon for 9,814 who saw the Indians pummel Gray and his three successors almost at will. Clevland wrapped up the game in a big four-hit, three-run fifth inning which boomed them into a 5-1 lead. It was all over then and the Tigers played as if they knew it. * * * Bums' Twin Win Raises TitleHopes BROOKLYN-(A)-The Dodg- ers came off the floor twice yes- terday, to out-claw the Boston Braves in both games of a double- header at Ebbets Field, 7-5 and 7-6, and keep their pennant hopes flickering. If they can capsize the Phila- delphia Phillies both tomorrow and in the final game of the campaign Sunday the two clubs will finish in a dead tie for -the National League flag. Only 11 days ago the Dodgers were nine games out of first place. * S* IT LOOKED as though it was all over when the Dodgers went into the eighth inning of the first game trailing by 2 to 5, and with Max Surkont of the Braves mow- ing them down methodically. But then, with two down and the bases filled, the dike sudden- ly broke. Earl Torgeson and Gene Mauch of the Braves com- mitted glaring errors on ground balls at first and second, and before the panic subsided the Brooks had poured five unearn- ed runs across and had sewn up the decision. So then the Bostons started out to win the second behind their 19- game winner, Vern Bickford. They piled into 'Chris Van Cuyk, the huge Brooklyn rookie, for a 4-1 lead and slammed him from the box in the third inning. Again the issue seemed to have been settled. A three-run sixth inning off Bickford tied it up at 6-6, Campa- nella again providing the key blow with a double to right as a chilled crowd of 5,843 rent the evening air over Flatbush. Jackie Robin- son, first up for the Dodgers in the seventh, wrapped it up with his 14th homer of the year into the left field seats., IiION New York Detroit Boston Cleveland Washington Chicago, St. Louis Philadelphia DORNE DIBBLE ...

Maulbetsch, chosen on Walter Camp's 1914 All-American squad, was a pint-sized halfback even in the days when a football player didn't have to weigh fifteen stones to make a big-time college team. The "German Bullet" weighed 156 pounds but his plunging and slices off tackle devastated oppos- ing defenses. AFTER CAMP named Maul- betsch to his star squad, the late Ring Lardner wrote that the Michigan back had "destroyed the myth of eastern foodtball super- iority." That was high praise from such a man as Lardner at a time when the eastern teams and players had been dominat- ing the sport for a decade. And the Wolverine bullet de- served the hosannas from the east, since his performance in a losing cause against Harvard was one of the greatest performanes ever seen in the Crimson coop. With the high and mighty Har- vards playing fast and loose with the mythical national title, Michi- gan's poor relations from the corn country came into Cambridge bent on victory. s s* * IT WASN'T in the books for Fielding Yost's team to win their big test, since penalties and a cost- ly fumble gave Harvard the one touchdown which spelled a Maize and Blue defeat. But Maulbetsch punched away at the Crimson line for three yards, two yards, eight yards. Injured twice, the German Bul- let got up from the turf to re- new the battle each time.- Maulbetsch picked up a.total of 133 yards rushing in the 7-0 defeat. It was his performance against the Crimson which made eastern observers change their minds about the quality of mid- west football. Old-Time6'M GridderDies Frederick A. Maynard, '98, a member of Michigan's first foot- ball team, died at Bradenburg, Florida. Maynard, who played with the Wolverines when they first essay- ed the sport in 1874, was honored in 1947 as being the oldest living alumnus of the University, He leaves a son, Nelson, of New York City.
